🍔🥦 Keto Hamburger and Broccoli Skillet 🥦🍔
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef (80/20 for extra flavor)
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Directions:
Cook the beef:
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula as it browns. Drain any excess fat if needed.
Add broccoli and season:
Stir in the broccoli florets, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Continue cooking for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still has a bit of bite.
Make it creamy and cheesy:
Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the heavy cream and add half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is creamy and well blended.
Final cheesy topping:
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top of the skillet. Cover with a lid and let it cook for another 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Serve and enjoy:
Serve hot, optionally garnished with extra red pepper flakes or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
Bonus Tips:
Want even more flavor? Stir in some cooked bacon bits or a handful of diced bell peppers.
For a lighter twist, swap the beef with ground turkey or chicken.
